Hey, what’s up? Sami here. Today we are going to be reviewing the RedMagic 7 Gaming
phone. Please note that this is the Chinese version. The international edition will be
released on February 22nd but due to the NDA, I can’t say more about it so if you want
to learn more about the global version of the RedMagic 7, please subscribe to my channel
and turn on that bell so you won’t miss any new videos.
Open the box, we’ll find an insert that includes some stickers, who is this girl BTW,
I wish my wife could be this pretty. Moving on there is some paperwork that no one cares
about, then the case. Then we have the phone, a red type-c cable, and the 165W fast charging
adapter, wow. Moving to the phone, we have this CYBER NEON
color, they also have DARK KNIGHT and TRANSPARENT EDITION. For me, the transparent one is without
doubt my favorite, you can see things right through it, that’s really cool. Regarding
the design, we have a 3.5mm headphone jack on the top, that’s very important for a
gaming phone, isn’t it? While at the back, we have the camera module, a wind inlet, a
flashlight, and a logo at the bottom. Moving to the right side, we have two virtual shoulder
keys, unlike the physical keys on the Redmi K50 Gaming, these two can’t be pressed.
Then the air outlet, a power key, a mic beside it, that’s great so when you are yelling
at your mate during gaming they will hear loud and clear. Moving to the bottom, we have
a speaker, type-c charging port, a mic, and a SIM card slot. While at the left side, we
have the Gaming key, an air outlet and the volume rocker.
The RedMagic 7 and 7 Pro launch with Red Magic 5.0 out of the box. It is based on Android
12 with some tweaks to reduce response times and improve performance. As you can see, the
app logos are highly customized to match the theme of the RedMagic, which looks inherent,
thumbs up for that. Regarding the specs, the handset sports a
6.8 inch OLED display with FHD+ resolution, 10-bit color depth and full DCI-P3 coverage
that offers an impressive 165Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the Red Magic 7 packs the
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, paired with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB
of internal storage. If you are wondering about the Antutu Benchmark, here it is. That’s
super powerful. Not only that, the cooling system on the RedMagic
7 is at another level. It features the new ICE 8.0 cooling system that includes an RGB
fan that spins at 20,000 rpm. It may spin very fast, but it doesn’t make much noise,
totally acceptable. It drops the CPU core temperature by 16ºC together with a nine-layer
cooling structure which includes a vapor chamber and a graphite sheet etc, which ensures a
stable performance over long gaming sessions. That’s true, we tried so many games, like
Genshin Impact, PUBG, Sky: Children of the light, racing cars etc, and some games we
don’t even know the name, the temperature is well-controlled. And with the shoulder
keys, to be honest, I’m kind of addicted to playing games!
Finally about the charging, the official claims it does 120W charging that fills its 4,500
mAh battery in 17 minutes. We charge the phone from 0 to 40% in just 5 minutes, crazy fast.
We also tried to charge the phone while we were playing the game, well, we charged from
48% to 72% in just 5 minutes, that’s impressive. And most importantly, it doesn’t get unbearably
hot.
Alright, that’s our first impression of the RedMagic 7 Gaming phone China version.
My conclusion is if you are a hard core mobile gamer and want an uncompromised gaming phone,
this is your choice, it’s more expensive than the Redmi K50, but comes with better
gaming performance for sure. If you want to know the differences between the China and
global version of the RedMagic 7, please stay tuned for my next video. Thanks for watching,
I’m Sami and I will see you in the next one.
